Is there a way to automatically clean unused images from the DAM?

I'm trying to find a way to clean up the /content/dam folder from unused images and other assets.
Is there an automated tool for this? Search and remove type of SQL or XPath query?
How would I go about doing this?
(Manual removal is not an option. We have hundreds of images)
Thanks a lot in advance guys,
David

You are welcome. You can also find some script here [1] that does delete operation on DAM. You have to extend this script to check for references. Best way to do that would be to write a servlet that will return number of references based on DAM path and if result is zero then delete that node.
Or use CQ OOTB servlet (Use Curl command to check response)
http://localhost:4502/bin/wcm/references.json?path=<YOUR DAM ASSET PATH>
if this return empty then there is no reference.

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?

Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.
Now I have to manually open a new window to avoid loosing my existing window.

First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5). Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
Hope this helps.

Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

Is there a way to hide my Skype info from the publ...

The reason I wish to do so is because I've been reciving an influx of of people wanting to find people to talk to, and have been sending me friend requests. However, I have no interest of talking to anyone who I have not met, unless it's from either a website I know and use, or have given written permission and my contact details. I do not like random friend requests at all, and I find it suspicious they all identify as female, and I am male. I do not wish to be bothered by such things, and so I ask if there is a way to somehow maybe hide myself from the directory, and if not, maybe such a feature should be added. I know the directory is what you need to search to find anyone, but there should be a more direct way when you have the Skype name. It may make it harder for friends and family to find a person, however, if I really want people added to my Skype, I will give them my info. It was a wonderful feature, however there are those who wish to abuse it, and something must be done, as this problem will not be going away!
So far, I've been blocking the people, but this is the 5th time it's happened in the last 2 weeks, and I'm getting rather concerned that just anyone can find me, and add them in. I use Skype to communicate with my friends and family, not find and talk to complete strangers. I am also concerned that this issue is just the tip of the iceburg, as people younger then 18 can also get a Skype account, and could be extorted by people wishing to harm our youths. I am not trying to be a "white knight", but rather a responsible citizen wanting to help make the community safe for all who are in it. I do not ask for immediate changes, but rather for help as to temporary fixes, and the consideration of features that could help protect people who choose to use them.

If you currently have personal data in Thunderbird, the safest thing to do is to use the ImportExportTools add-on. See the second link if you need more detailed usage instructions than those provided in the description.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Importing_folders
If you need to transfer other data besides mail, see the following article.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Thunderbird
If you don't have any personal data in Thunderbird at the moment, then you can simply replace everything in your current profile with data from your old profile:
# Click the '''≡''' menu icon in the top right.
# Open the '''Help''' menu and choose '''Troubleshooting Information'''.
# Click the '''Show Folder''' button. This opens a Windows Explorer window with your current profile.
# Click the '''≡''' menu icon and choose '''Exit'''.
# Create a backup copy of your current profile folder.
# Select all files in your current profile folder ('''Ctrl+A'''), then press the '''Delete''' key to erase them.
# Open a new Windows Explorer window and navigate to your old profile folder.
# Copy all files and subfolders from the old profile folder into the current one.
You're welcome.

Is there a way I can reclaim unused money from my itunes account?

I have been given many itunes gift cards over the last few years, and I currently have $90 sitting in my account. It is highly unnecessary, as I don't listen to/purchase music that often. I could really use that $90, and I tried google researching any way I could make this happen.
I was told that I can use my account money to buy itunes gift cards, and then sell them to companies that buy gift cards (such as plastic jungle or cardpool). Unfortunately, none of these companies are authorized to buy itunes cards!
So, is there ANY way I can get my $90 back? Or is it stuck in my itunes account forever??

No, there is no way to get cash for this.
It is in your itunes account. You can only use it there.

Is there a way to download a Flash file from the web?

Hello all.
I am just wondering if there is a way, similar to downloading QuickTime movies and trailers from the web (using the provided link or its URL) to download a flash file? i.e. a flash-made audio or video?
Thanks and cheers

OK!
I use RealPlayer 11.0 beta for this:

It automatically tells you if the file is downloadable.
Works like a charm.
Even in the West Country....

There any way to open an 'offline' image if the originals are gone?

I recently had pictures, 1827 of them, somehow get deleted off my computer, therefore it resulted in me not being able to do anything with them in Lightroom since they are now considered 'offline'... is there any way a person can somehow get these images off the lightroom program, so I can save them & still have access to them?

First, are you really sure that your pictures ahve been deleted? You can only be sure when a thorough search in your OS (Mac Finder / Win Explorer) does not find them.
The fact that LR sows them greyed-out and with question marks does not necessarily mean that the images are deleted.
That LR is not able to find the images can have several reasons:
(a) worst case, the images are not on the hard drive at all.
(b) the images are on the hard drive but in a different location. This happens when you move images / folders outside of LR.
(c) images and/or folders have been renamed outside of LR.
(d) a combination of (b) and (c).
In case your images are truely deleted you can do a <Print to JPG file>. In the print Module on the right side in the <Print Job> panel besides the words <Print To> click on the small triangles besides <Printer> and select <Print to JPG file> that would save your image as a small jpg.

Is there a way to copy & paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?

Hello Popular Premiere Pontificaters,
I am using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
Is there a way to copy and paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?... I can copy my clip, but when I open the other project, it will not allow me to paste it in there... but I am able to copy and paste a clip within a single project. I tried everything... pasting in to a new video track and pasting in to an existing video track in the second project, but the paste option simply isn't there when I open the second project.
And if Premiere itself will not allow me to do this in any way, will a copy-paste clipboard type of accessory app allow me to do this?... if so, which is the best, trustworthy copy-paste app that is malware free?
Thanks,
digi

Hi Bill Hunt,
I just read the page that you provided about "Handles"... thanks allot for that ARTICLE. In your article and the subsequent article HANDLES, "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" linked from your article, it indicates (in PrE and PrPro anyway - I'm in Premiere 6) that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks... the paragraph below is a quote from that "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" article...
"Whatever is below the transition in a Timeline panel appears in the transparent portion of the transition (the portion of the effect that would display frames from the adjacent clip in a two-sided transition). If the clip is on Video 1 or has no clips beneath it, the transparent portions display black. If the clip is on a track above another clip, the lower clip is shown through the transition, making it look like a double-sided transition."
So this indicates that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks since it is referring to content in tracks beneath a transparent fade that would show through... and only non-Video 1 tracks can be transparent and have other clips "beneath" them in the timeline, right?
In the screenshot sample in your article at this LINK, I see the handles (referred to as B and E) and I can see in my monitor window how those handles would be represented by the two little bracket symbols { } ... you can see how they appear in my monitor window in Premiere 6 in this screenshot, and below, from a different thread that isn't related to this topic.
But I'm still trying to figure out how the handles can be applied in the non-Video 1 tracks in the timeline to insert a transition (cross-dissolve) between two clips.
Can you advise me on this?... I posted a separate thread HERE on this topic, but I haven't got any further with finding an answer.
Thanks so much for your article,
digi

Is there a way to edit a movie clip from the horizontal format to a vertical format?

You need to use a video editor like iMovie or QuicktimePro. OR an app like this:

Is there a way to get data to and from the hard drive of a Powerbook 180 without having to use the floppy drive?

Howdy folks!
I have an 20 year old Powerbook 180 with what I think is an unreliable floppy drive. Sometimes while accessing a diskette the screen flickers and usually power to the whole computer drops out.
I'm not familiar with Mac connectivity. Is there a way to access the hard drive--to get data off of, and install files, etc onto, the hard drive? 3.5 inch drives are 20th century.
But... I am happy because my old Powerbook still boots up just fine and I can look at my old files installed on the HD ok.
Thanks,
Hayward Matt

Hi Hayward,
This may be a power supply issue, not necessarily a problem with the floppy drive itself. Any change if you try removing the battery?
Would it be correct to assume that it is a plain PowerBook 180 (not 180c)? Which power adapter are you using? It must have a 7.5 DC output, but is it capable of supplying at least 2.0 A?
Unfortunately it is difficult to remove and connect the (2.5" SCSI) hard drive to a modern computer. Had it been 2.5" IDE, things would have been much easier.
It is possible to set up a serial null-modem connection from a PowerBook 180 to another computer. See the following discussion for details:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4974860
If the PB 180 has an internal modem (or an external modem connected to the modem port), you could send files to another modem-equipped computer over the phone lines. With the proper software installed, the PB 180 can even use a dial-up Internet connection.
Alternatively, another semi-old (pre-1998) Macintosh computer with built-in Ethernet could be used as an intermediary, You could use LocalTalk (or a plain Mac printer cable) for file sharing between the PB 180 and the semi-old Mac (the latter could then forward files over a local network or via the Internet). It is also possible to connect the PB 180 to the semi-old Mac in SCSI disk mode (see the user guide below for additional information).

Cleaning unused tracks from the session audio folder.

I'm currently cleaning up unwanted files from my computer to free up space. I think I remember seeing a post about a program that will help me clean up the session audio file folder. I just need someone to point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Yeah, you have to decide whether you want to include absolutely everything in your Project folder (you would if you wanted to take the logic file and everything that you needed for it to work on a someone else's set-up, for example) or whether you want to save the particular requirements for that specific project and make sure they're all there so that nothings missing when you go back to it in two years time (still assuming you're working with the same plug-ins and so on..)
No-one can exactly take account of the future, so it makes sense to consider the basic stuff, anyway, but there isn't much point to saving samples from Ultrabeat or the EXS 24 if you're just going to keep bringing the project up on your own machine, all those samples are in the Library to be used on any project, it only matters if you do something to change them ?
